We are focused on two very special happenings in this episode. Well, we are mostly focused. We wouldn’t be us if we didn’t go off topic and “Syndrome” just a little bit. We discuss the towering cinematic experience of Blade Runner 2049. We are effusive in our praise and exacting in our criticism of this tremendous film.

On 10/9, during Monday Night Football, the trailer for Star Wars:The Last Jedi premiered. It gave us so much to chew on. So much new footage to ponder. So many new images to dissect. So many new theories to construct. What is most certain is that each of the Brothers will be counting down the days until December 15th!

A question from Legendary Listener Shawn caps off the episode. A piece of movie magic is explained.

Surprise! We are all in the same room this episode. Patrick flew down to Arizona to surprise our parents with a visit and you, our loyal listeners, get the benefit of a Physical Proximity Episode! We discuss the new series Star Trek Discovery, what we like, what we don’t, and how we will have to actually pay CBS money to finish the rest of the season. We all feel the impending arrival of Blade Runner 2049. Chris made a re-watch of The Final Cut of the original Blade Runner with his daughter Kristin. Andrew and Patrick are making similar plans. Andrew reads a decent spy novel by Vince Flynn. Patrick reads an excellent comic written by Jeff Lemire. Christopher continues with Montress Vol. 2 written by Marjorie Liu and it only gets better, and it was already a stellar read. All three brothers play many, many hours of Destiny 2. The game is great fun.
